Pilot jobs in the EU

Post Brexit opportunities in Europe?

Anyone know if there are any British pilots (UK only passport) with EASA licences finding jobs in the EU?

If so what are the rules now?

My understanding is a U.K. passport holder with no second EU passport would most likely need to be able to prove they had the right to live in and/or work in the country the company was registered/based in. Most EU airline job ads that I have seen either request an EU passport or right to live/work in the relevant EU country.

Edited to add - i have seen some ads, mainly from companies based in Germany such as EAT that may specify right to live and work in Germany in lieu of an EU passport . But as Denti wrote below, if you got residence / work paperwork sorted prior to the withdrawal agreement coming into effect, it’s limited to that country and nowhere else.

This is a red herring but recently the pilot hiring situation in the U.K. was pretty good ….Virgin, DHL U.K. , West Atlantic , Jet2 , TUI and BA have all been hiring in recent months ..

An EU passport would be required. Ryanair currency sponsoring EU pilots to work U.K. bases yet no sign of this happening for U.K. pilots to work EU bases. More Brexit winning!

Yes, after all third country immigration rules are not an EU power but rather individual to each and every EU member state. And of course having the right to live and work in one EU country does not include to right to live and work in any other EU country. Which makes it extremely unattractive to any EU airline to sponsor a UK or other third country pilot. Btw, even those having the residency rights from the WA are basically stuck in that one country.

Best option is to get a job based in the RoI and apply for a citizenship once that is possible.

Im afraid the UK is in the same boat as the rest of the world regarding Europe now. Its possible to get residency in a specific EU country much the same way someone from eg Australia would.
